Training includes the New Zealand Coordinated Incident Management System, (CIMS) a system used by leading emergency services since 1998. CIMS training is highly recommended for those who through legislative responsibilities are deemed to be the Lead Agency in an emergency.
CIMS is used across Government agencies and many Corporates as they develop ‘Adaptive Management’, ‘Readiness’ and ‘Resiliency’ within their respective organisations. Click below to hear our Director and Trainer Paul speak about how we can help your organisation be prepared for any event:
We deliver courses to a wide range of clients, across many sectors, which include many Government Agencies involved in whole of Government exercises like Exercise Cruickshank. Our training covers the range of Incident Management roles up to and including Response Coordinators who provide strategic direction, support and coordination for Incident Management teams in complex or multiple incidents.
Incident Management Teams ensure that high level decisions are coordinated during an emergency and manage the threat to life, property and the environment during the response phase.
The COVID-19 is an example where the Coordinated Incident Management System (CIMS) system was used during the 
response phase over a prolonged period.
